The combination of Ziff Davis' properties including, amongst others,
PCMAG.com, Geek.com and Toolbox.com, with IGN's properties, IGN.com,
UGO.com, 1UP.com and AskMen.com, make the group one of the largest
digital publishers reaching tech, video game and entertainment
enthusiasts. In addition, these properties have over 600 advertisers and
53 million global monthly unique visitors. This acquisition more than
doubles the revenues of j2's digital media business.

All of these properties predominantly attract males 18-34, and the
group's advertisers will now have access to a larger audience and a
broader array of premium inventory. In addition, IGN's strength in video
content coupled with Ziff Davis' strength in data analytics will allow
the group's marketing partners to more efficiently reach its
demographically attractive audience.

"This is a transformative deal for our digital media business," said
Hemi Zucker, CEO of j2 Global. "By combining two of the most storied
organizations in tech, gaming and entertainment, we have created a very
powerful company capable of producing and delivering content in all
forms to an audience that marketers highly value." Added Vivek Shah, CEO
of Ziff Davis, "IGN and AskMen are tremendous best-in-class brands that
we are proud to have as part of our digital media portfolio."

The transaction is expected to be accretive to j2's 2013 earnings,
exclusive of ransition costs.
